[U-Boot] [PATCH] efi_loader: bootmgr: support BootNext and BootCurrent variable behavior

See UEFI v2.7, section 3.1.2 for details of the specification.

With my efishell command[1], you can try as the following:
  => efi boot add 1 SHELL ...
  => efi boot add 2 HELLO ...
  => efi boot order 1 2
  => efi bootmgr
     (starting SHELL ...)
  => efi setvar BootNext =H0200
  => efi bootmgr
     (starting HELLO ...)
  => efi dumpvar
  <snip ...>
  BootCurrent: {boot,run}(blob)
  00000000:  02 00                    ..
  BootOrder: {boot,run}(blob)
  00000000:  01 00 02 00              ....

Using "run -e" would be more human-friendly, though.
